“蜀学”三事:成都文翁石室丛考

A Study of Three Events in Shu's History of Confucianism

巴蜀之地远偏,然其沐儒学之化,匪为浅哉,甚有为天下先之创举!乃儒学进程中彪炳千古之功!何也?曰:"文翁石室、周公礼殿、孟蜀石经"是也。文翁石室、周公礼殿、石壁九经皆为蜀学至宝,其对蜀学的发展、兴盛所起的作用无可估量,以首创性言之,其于天下学术文化的启发亦为不浅,故得"冠天下""垂无穷"之誉,成儒学之大功。目前学界对此关注甚多,作者在众多学人研究成果基础之上,重新对此"蜀学三事"进行综合考察,期以展示其重大的文化价值、学术意义和在儒学发展过程中的历史地位及重大影响。

Though the regions of Ba and Shu（modern Sichuan and its periphery） had been remote and geographically inaccessible throughout history,Confucianism＇s influence in this area was no less profound than in the rest of China and the region had even made some pioneering contributions to Confucian studies.For instance,three cultural relics of Sichuan—the Wen Weng Stone-Chamber Academy,the Memorial Hall for the Duke of Zhou,and the Stone Classics of Shu—represent immeasurably precious achievements that significantly promoted the development of Confucianism in southwestern China.As original undertakings in Confucian education,they have provided insight for Chinese intellectuals and the spread of Confucian culture.Hence,they were widely seen to be achievements that ＂crown the whole country＂ and ＂set examples for all later generations.＂ These achievements have been widely studied in recent years.Based on previous research,this paper makes a comprehensive investigation into the three historical relics that chronicle key Confucian events in Sichuan to identify their cultural value,academic significance,and historical influence in the development of Confucianism.
